I have heard that about 60% (or higher percentage) of fanfiction readers and writers are girls... is that true? Well, right now, I highly think so. So, let's count to see how many of us here are boys or girls.
Ooh! Ooh! I'm a girl! -bounces up and down with hand raised like an idiot-
>>155 Paper-kun! Oh no! I'm stalking you, arn't I... Meh, I don't care... still... Hiiiiii~~!
double X here! XX, meaning I'm a female! Unless science lies.
one more guy to the list lol
I'm a girl, thanks, and I only know one guy writer/artist, but one who is only an artist. So...just two... and most of my friends on FF and dA are girls so...sorry guys!
I'm a guy~~~
girl
Guy
Akito, it's not polite to cyber stalk your sister.
I'm a girl and I think I agree with that statistic. I always assume the stories I read are written by females, and when I find out they aren't, it usually comes as a surprise.
I consider myself a good writer and as such I like to read good works. But I the trouble with f-f.net is that I have to wade through a lot of what I consider bad stories to find my gems. As such does anyone here have any good recommendations. I like Naruto, Bleach, Kingdom hearts, and Harry Potter fics. I like the Protagonist to be realistic with a realistic threat from the Antagonist. No heavy bashing stories please, No harem stories unless it's done with the guy being a clueless idiot that has no idea that all the girls want him and don't want to share. And don't go easy with the action and violence.
Bola's a rather good writer. She (he?) has written a couple of HP fics. I personally think King's Cross Again is her best, except for the very last chapter. XP
Hi!
I good one that I can recommend would be for Kingdom Hearts. Its called Trials of the Keyblade by DariusAlmighty. I really like it, because it is well written, has a good plot (Has Star Wars in it! YES!), and is very creative.
I must warn you, its about over fifty chapters long and still going, but once you read the first chapter you are hooked.
I do hope that you enjoy it, like I have.
Dreamcreator
Red Witch. She writes G.I. Joe and X-men Evolution fanfics, including crossovers.
I have a ton of recomendations!
Tiana Misoro, TealEyedBeing and Raicheru. They are great HichigoXIchigo and GrimmjowXIchigo authors! XD
Black Sun Upon An Icy Sky is an IchiRuki author of awesoemness~!
Let's see... Bloody Lover does UlquiorraXOC, and she did a HichigoXIchigo too. XD
Try 'em out! They're in my faves.
I can only think of one really good one for the listed fandoms, so here:
Univited Guests by Moczo (Bleach), Effing fantastic, hilarious, and everyone is in character, amazingly. One of the best I've ever read. I highly reccomend.
Well, I really love "A Peek in the life of Kurama and Hiei" by Anzymemangaz is really funny! I also like his/her..I think her..story "Chaos of the Leaf" "Insanity" is great too..I read a lot of fznfiction.
Harry Potter? Don't go easy on the action and violence? You want Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness, by Thanfiction. It's an M, but mainly for violence.
"The Girl From Whirlpool" is my favorite Naruto story. It's almost like a book. There are action scenes, but it's more about character development and the relationship between Minato and Kushina than anything else. It is an amazing story, though.
Anything by Sarah1281 is also always good for a laugh. "It's For a Good Cause, I Swear" is hilarious.
Most of my favorite stories are humor and snarcasm (sarcasm and snarkiness). The few action stories I've read have been good, but I am more for humor than anything else.
Just wondering if anyone liked Hetalia besides from me. Is there?
I love hetalia, a lot, its one of the funest fandoms I've ever been a part of, and I'm damn glad I am.
I write for it, often. And read, too. I like a lot of pairings (pretty cracky ones, too), but my personal favorite is Itacest (N.Italy/S.Italy). But I also love AmeriBela, Spamerica, Amerimano, and various others...
I love Lovi, he is just... gah~ I love him.
>>24 Hey Lurky! I'm a fish! -flails around retardedly-
>>26 Meh, whatever, you should just be happy I'm actually posting on something like this...
Also, YOUR NAME ISNT CAPITALIZED AND ITS PISSING ME OFF.
So there.
>>28 I'm not very knowlagable about that stuff, so yeah... sorry.
Yeah...
(Fiiiiine... but you strayed away earlier, too... -pouts-)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Lovi's dub voice, and the... er, subtext and hilarity of his lines (that I've seen). So yeah. (His original voice is also wonderful, but I'm pretty sure everyone knows that...)
(Happy now, Paper-kun?)
(Btw, I apoligize to the other posters, because yeah, my fatness is fat.)
I like hetalia but I can't help but think that I should hate it because it makes fun of my home land (well, my grandparents home land) Not everyone in Italy is like that!!! We are not spineless little weaklings as Hetalia suggests!!! But the show is so funny that I can't help but enjoy it! Plus Todd Haberkorn does the voice of Italy...I just wish Vic Mignogna had a bigger part.
It makes fun of every country! I'm english - I'm quite good at cooking, thank you very much. But they're supposed to represent the countries, not the people in them, making them steriotypes. Like America chomping on all those hamburgers and acting like a complete douche.
But I'll tell you something about Italy which makes you think that, yeah, they got Italy damn right!
"The Italians didn’t have a very happy time in the North African desert war. In September 1940 they set off in their tanks to destroy the British. Unfortunately, they lost their way, and drove around in a huge circle until they ran out of petrol and water. When they finally came face to face with the British Army many Italian soldiers panicked and ran away. They were driven back in to battle by their leader, General ‘Electric Beard’ Bergonzoli. By early December, they had been defeated. The Brits were surprised to find that the Italians were ready to be taken prisoner and many of them had their suitcases neatly packed and waited to be marched off to prison."
That's from Horrible Histories.
well, if you put it that way....then I guess I'm all right with it. Plus, it has all three of my favorite voice actors!!! Even if Vic has a tiny little soldier A type part, he's still in the show!
it really gets me frusterated when you see people read your stories but don't review. It really gets me going if i get a review, so i don't get why so many don't review. I love reviews, even if they are critical. You?
'"Please update."
IS NOT A FREAKING WORTH IT REVIEW. I want to shank all the people who do that!!!'
Eh, I once got a ":(" because I put my story off for a while.
I actually don't mind when I don't get many reviews. I'm one of those writers who likes to reply to EVERY review (well, the signed ones. I do what I can for the anon ones) so when i update a story and I have like 40 new reviews for that chapter, it gets a little...long. In fact, sometimes it takes me more time to reply to all my reviews than it does to write the damn chapter. On the other hand, I want some recognition guys. Which is why I don't mind just hearing that you faved my story. At least you cared enough for that.
>>36 Oh yes! There's one girl, and one every single story, her review is 'love it'. That too means to me that they are just reviewing because they're wanna be my friend. I don't really care about her reviews anymore. I don't even think she actually reads them before reviewing. It has happened that I put up quite a lengthy story that would take at least half an hour to read, and she already reviewed it after ten minutes or something. That disappoints me more than getting no reviews.
I recently got a review saying "Whoa, this is a straight copy from x's story. Same story, same length, same plotline. Only yours is riddled with grammar mistakes. That's just very cheap of you, Bola." I was seriously pissed off. I don't read others' stories if they're dealing with the same ideas I have to prevent that from happening. I have been plagiarized two times before with said person getting 40+ reviews and I none because she PMs every person she knows or who has ever reviewed/favorited to read it, and I refuse to lower myself to that. That's just sick. That's just... THAT'S CHEAP! Anyway... So I went to read the story the review had mentioned, and indeed I had read it (and reviewed), but after mine was finished, just to see how she had done it.
Is it impossible to have the same ideas as someone else without knowing when it is obvious what might have happened? Argh! Her story was 1500+ words. Mine was about 450. Same length, indeed. -rolls eyes- I know there were mistakes in grammar. That was only because no one wanted to beta read, even though I had contacted about everyone in the fandom. I had done my best to fix as much I could, but didn't have any idea where the mistakes were. If that makes sense... I personally think it was cheap of her to review anonymously so that I couldn't reply, and that she judged me without knowing me. She just called me cheap without knowing the way I do things. ARGH. Anyway, I did notice similarities with the author author's story, and PM'ed her to ask if it bothered her that my story had some resemblance. She didn't PM back. I took my responsibility and deleted it, since her story was up first, even though I didn't actually plagiarize anything.
Personally, I really enjoy getting reviews, but I'm also happy recieving any feedback, alerts, favorites, anything, it makes me happy to know people at least get some enjoyment from my work... whether they review or not.
I like getting reviews but when people just ask for updates it kind of annoys me. I hate getting cap-locked reviews. It might just be me and my issues but it makes me feel as if their yelling at me and I prefer normal tone.
I think what matters most is actually getting a review that caused your reader to talk about the subject or ramlbe about the story. There is this short story I wrote and it only got 13 reviews. I was far from satisfied up until I read them.
From a long review: "what makes a great story? is it the writing or the way characters are described, probably but i think mainly in my p.o.v. it's how the author expresses feelings, probably their own feelings or feelings that they have seen others go through, by using their, or others, characters. this fanfic shows a lot of feelings and i bet you worked really hard even if some chapters were shorter. i'm not a critic, but even if it is a fanfic you have a lot of talent on how to express feelings. keep writng and happy new years^_^ loved the story and it's kinda true in life their are no happy endings, but their are happy moments"
To something as small and simpl as this: "Wow. Wow! This is just so wonderful! You've structured it just right. And the general impression from the whole story is just life-asserting and mature. You've done a great job. I'm really impressed and moved. Thanks a lot."
I unfortunately have asked only for updates, but that's when I'm super sleepy. I regret EVER doing that.
I love getting reviews on my done story. Even flames~ They can be funny to read, and I'm sort of an odd ball.
Reviews are important; both to make your work better and to make you as a writer feel more confident. I absolutely detest flamers who bash solely for the purpose of being mean/rude (all my AN have something at the end about not flaming). On the other hand, constructive criticism is a good thing.
As a 'veteran' on fan-fiction dot net (5 yrs with an account, and longer without) here are some things I've found that help get more reviews on a story:
a) Have a summery, preferably a good one (it's what gets people to read the story, after all). Never say "I'm not good at writing summaries, so just read it" because the first thing most people will do when they read this is skip on over to the next one.
b) If you're wanting a lot of people to read it and you're not choosy about what you write about, choose a topic that's popular (like Naruto, DBZ, Sailor Moon, Harry Potter, etc) and/or choose pairings that are popular/controversial (you'd be surprised how many people want to read about nearly impossible pairings like Sakura/Itachi or Hermione/Tom Riddle).
c) If what the topic you wish to write on is rather unknown, a fresh look on things (such as a new pairing or plot idea) can give you a lead.
I love getting reviews as much as the next person, but I've found myself getting excited for certain people to review. Why? Because those people actually READ my story and give real feedback besides, 'Love It! Update soon!' 40 fracking times.
>>45 Yeah, around my fandom there are authors who are better than others. When I get an email that says x person who is a good reviewer has reviewed, I am excited to read it.
I don't ask for updates, I just say "can't wait until the next chapter is posted", because I don't want to be pushy, I just want to be nice.
I'm thinking most of us will have fanfiction accounts so why don't we give each other our usernames on that website and check out each others' fics?
Hello people of the interwebs, I'm Pieland, and I'm proud to say I'm awesome. Yeah.
My FF account is also Pieland (currently... it may change at any time...)
I've been writing Fanfics since... 2008, I believe... and have gone through a wide rage of fandoms, I'd list, but I'm lazy... and most of them I'll never write for again... But anyways, I'm currently into Hetalia Axis Powers, and have... a few fics (mostly poems) for it...
I also have a joint account with dear Lurksong up there, the name is MuffinsInTheShower (long story in the name... ok, its not, but I'm lazy), so yeah.
It's a beautiful morning~
I'm "The Dark Side Has Yaoi".
I write mainly Death Note fanfics, but I've written one on Naruto.
One DN ff is a HP crossover, but that's coauthored by "Me and My Friend Caffine".
I'm Acier Glace on FF, and I dabble in a variety of genres. I have two finished Naruto one-shots, an ongoing HP fic, and one sestina for YuGiOh.
Yo guys. I'm Toxi on FF.
I mainly have Hetalia stuff, but I've got one Soul Eater fic that I kind of just dropped off on. : D
I'm a huge SuFin shipper, and I adore Sealand.
I also am thinking about writing some Yume Nikki stuff, or at least more of it.
Hey, I'm The Musical Panda on FF.
I generally do Anime, but I also have stories for Star Trek, Twilight, and Harry Potter.
I actually have a series going called 'The Musical Panda Crack Series' which has a few thing's in it already.
I also may write something else for Naruto, as soon as writer's block clears up.
Hi, I'm BriiDream on FF and I have written 10 fanfics (majority is Harry Potter). I also have a Twilight multichapter-on-hiatus, a Twilight AH oneshot, and a Naruto multichapter-in-progress.
Hi! I'm MuSiC HaTs on FF. I've been writing for...two years now. I have 20 things posted now and I write Naruto and Twilight (11 for Naruto. 9 for Twilight).
Heyy! :) I'm chibi-ShadowMaiden. I've done 3 fanfics. 1 for Inglorious Basterds. 1 for Twilight. And 1 for the Dark Knight. They're all complete. I haven't started a new story yet
Salute and bonjour ladies and gentlemen, I am YamiTenshi. Also known as YamiTenshi. Or Tenshi, for short. You can find me on ffnet, though I started writing fanfiction on the big FAC (FanArt Central) before they totally screwed things up over there and ruined my formatting, rendering all my old stories unreadable.
I've been in the fanfic biz for five years and currently have 39 stories, mostly Naruto but there's also a couple of DNAngel fics (one crappy, the other decent), one +Anima story, and a Death Note fic.
I enjoy good books, X-Play, and people who aren't stupid. I'm not really looking for Mr. Right or Mr. Right-Now, but if you wanna be friends that's cool too.
Can ya dig it?
Since getting our computer back I've been writing fics nonstop, getting down all my SoulCalibur ideas (Siegfried/Sophitia and Talim/Yun-seong FTW ^_^). But it's been a while since I've done any Final Fantasy...I've done VII and X so far...any requests for Final Fantasy fics? I haven't properly played XI though, nor have I played XIII (it's out a day before my birthday, March 10th!) but any other FFs I can manage. Requests, anyone? x x x x
How about a 'What if Zack took more of a (friendly/platonic) interest in Cloud after their meeting and helped him get into SOLDIER/attempted to and because of that Nibelheim went differently/something else resulting from it'? Adventure/Friendship. Could work well as a short or an extended.
I have 1 Final Fantasy Advent Children-Bleach xover. it ain't done though...XD
I've been wanting more FFVII crossovers, particularly with Buffy, Hellsing, Sailor Moon, Stargate, and Harry Potter. I could throw hundreds of plot ideas out there for you,if you wanted.
if you're willing, can you write a FFVII story with fem!Zack? preferably paired with Sephiroth or Genesis?
Ima naruto shippuden writer but i will soon be posting up vocaloid and ouran high school hose club fanfics...check me out plz:D
Every time I think this place can't get any dumber...
I've always been partial to the thought of a Sephiroth/Vincent conversation fic, concerning the ambiguity of Sephiroth's paternity. i.e. was Hojo the father, or did Lucrecia have a moment of indiscretion with Vincent beforehand? It'd be a fun prompt, anyway.
I'm sure that's never been done before.
I know some people particularly search out romance fanfics to read or can only write angst ones, etc. So I was wondering what do you like to read and/or write?
I've been doing action/adventure stories, a few humor, romance and hurt/comfort stories too, I've done at least one horror story as well. If you want to read them, check them out.
My favorite genre is romance lol! Oh and hurt/comfort that's really cute too. I sometimes like angst if it has happy end and other genres like mystery or action. Mostly as long as there's no dying or sad end I'll read it xD
I usually tend to prefer more lighthearted, humorous fare. However, I also enjoy the occasional dark story -- sometimes tragedy or angst, sometimes horror or suspense. I generally avoid purely romantic stories, nowadays, and I am loth to write dramatic, romantic relationships in my stories, because my attempts to be serious or dramatic oft veer off into bathos and hyperbolic exclamations. Even 'A Monster, From the Right Perspective', my sole serious fic (a oneshot, and one of which I am fairly proud), falls into this trap once or twice.
I also enjoy the occasional harem fic, though writing one that is any good, I have found, can be truly challenging. Which I suppose is why I have found myself working on two of them. One is a twisted deconstruction of harem, super, and dark fics, set in Hyrule circa 'Twilight Princess'; the other is a goofy, manic fic following the parallel adventures of a girl and the boy she loves, as the girl attempts to build a harem for her beloved, as her beloved deals with an unwanted, emerging legacy, set in 'Hayate the Combat Butler'. Both are presently stalled, the former due to writer's block, and the latter because I am having a hard time trying to find the name of a character who plays a minor role in the next chapter.
...Jiminy Cricket, how in blue blazes did a post regarding my preferred genres so quickly devolve into shameless self-promotion and thinly-veiled bitching about my own procrastination? Answer: The world may never know....
Hello! I came to check out this site! I like it so far. I write on fanfiction for a year now, under xYuzuki-Tachioux, and I love anime!
I personally prefer to read angst although it depends on my mood. I've been having a romance kick lately and I can read just about anything as long as it is free of Mary Sues.
Sheesh, a lot you guys seem to like the angst, romance or humor! Or as far as I can see XD I'm more big on preferring parody fics, mysteries, or even a good action/adventure. Mostly because all those angst fics make me all depressed again. And give me too many ideas. Romance has gotten so cliched it's really hard to find a good one, and they tend to get spammed with certain pairings that end up making me want to pull my hair out just because their so common and overdone.
I'm more of a Romance person myself. At least, that's what I'm best at writing. A good Hurt/Comfort fic peaks my interest, too. And Action/Adventure, and Supernatural, and Spirituality fics. Basically, the whole shebang. Except graphic stuff, of course.
So, we all pretty much know the main users by now, but a bit of shameless narcissism never hurt anyone. My name is Helen, I am 17 and I go by tearthepetalsoffofyou (v. Pretentious, I know) on ff.net. I live in London and write mainly for Buffy and Harry Potter. I am writing this because I am bored on a bus and feel weirdly proud that I made the first post on this bit. So, introduce yourself if you feel so inclined.
I am simply Prince. Shan't tell you my age, for it is irrelevent. At the time, I'm taking a break from writing fanfiction, but mine is usually pretty decent.
On fanfiction I'm known as Fallen Angel of the Forgotten.
I just realized I should have posted the intro here, so I will.
I'm a girl, I've been on Fanfiction for less than a year(yet have seven stories), I enjoy drawing, and I mostly do fanwork for Naruto. And, I'm now sadly admitting I am NOT the youngest writer on Fanfiction, being an age that is not the youngest.
Um, it would be hard for me to go to meetings offline, but I could manage it. I'm a stickler for grammar, but less strict about spelling, as English confuses me often(English is the 'anti-phonetic language'). So... there 'ya go. It would be fun to meet with some of you someday.
The name is Heather. I write almost exclusively HP fan fiction under my penname Nikki Flinn. I don't claim to be the best but I like to write so yeah... :3
Why hello there.... I'm Pieland (see name above, and link), I'm awesome, and a tad lazy, so dont expect much (It's 12:45, for shit's sake...)...
Ok, so, I love to write, I write fics mostly for Hetalia now-a-days, and I draw, too, a lot. The internet is my friend, no, I love the internet, and I like to think it loves me too (though, I know he's cheating on me with over a million people... its a strained relationship...), I'm 13, I'm a girl, and I'm awesome (as stated above).
I will have a book published some day, I know it, and it'll be a damn good one. So there.
And yeah... that's all, I'm a lazy ass, just ask Lurksong up there, she knows...
ScifiSOS, here. I have no idea how long I've been on FF.net but I do know when I first started out I was horrible - and that is a understatement. Then I left FF.net for a year and a half (or more) and came back. My writing was still horrible but I worked on it. It is waaaay better now but I'm still grammar queen. I work better with my emotions and music. I'm guessing my stories are good because of the raw emotion I feel when I write it. I love writing MalexMale pairings and I'm not so comfident to put up my femxfem or het stories because I've gotten to use to malexmale. I write under Harry Potter, have one HPxTwilight fanfic - even though I do not like Twilight. I have a lot of stories that are unfinished (cuse I suck like that) and usually like writing PWP one-shots just for the hell of it. I have a lame sense of humor but hey - some like it so we'll be lame bunnies together.
Umm...no idea what else to say. Have a nice evening! (morn/night)
~ScifiSOS
Hi, um I'm kinda new here, the admin invited me to come and check out the forum, and I just wanted to introduce myself.
Heh, yo! Just found out about this site and think it is lovely~ I'm Twin Kats on FFN for all those who are curious.
I'm Fawx, ficwriter and blogger. I'm on several fanfiction/etc. sites throughout the web, including FF.Net, deviantArt, Livejournal, PaperDemon, and AFF.net. Well, the last one not so much, until the place gets a major overhaul.
I write mainly for Yu Yu Hakusho, with some forays into other fandoms, including Ronin Warriors/Yoroiden Samurai Troopers, Mononoke (not Princess Mononoke, the other one) and Slayers.
My fics are mostly slash, some het, a few gen. I've been working on the same long-term multichapter fic for about ten years, give or take, and while it's been driving me of the cliff of insanity and halfway up the other side, I wouldn't give up ficwriting for the world.
Hi, I'm Brii. I am 15. I'm on both ff.net and fictionpress (under Dreams-are-Reality). I write mainly for Harry Potter, although I do have stories in progress for Twilight and Naruto.
I'm a slow updater (only six chapters for my Naruto fic in seven-eight mths). That's pretty much it.
So, how has our day been?
I'm sorry you're have an bad, Ichigo. If it makes you feel any better, my pmsing is giving heat flashes and it's 90 degrees where I leave so I'm getting a headache on top of that.
aww....hugs u we both r havin bad day here...
I'm pretty good, I've been going to this computer class for 4 weeks now, this is my last, and on thursday the class gets their own free PC's.
u lucky. XD my laptop is uber crappy...DX
>>179 Betcha it ain't worse than mine. Cracked screen, faulty USB ports (all of them), busted CD burner, cooling fan doesn't work all the time, and slower than molasses.
On topic: day's been okay for me.
i've had a pretty decent day so far! I just woke up and my doggy was barkin' cause she saw this squirrel that taunts her everyday by throwin' sticks and nuts at her
Hi everyone! my names peridot0814! im fifteen, i live in NYC and i happen to love fanfiction.net...its the best. I like paiiting playing electric guitar, drawing, and dancing. Umm...wat now?
Now, we wait, my friend. We watch, worry, and wait.
No, now we watch, eat some nachos, and has a nice cold Pepsi. XD
I do agree with the others... better without the hat Iaccy - though I guess it depends... well, I can't say anything, I have a cap stuck on my head. But it's a cool hat - and I totally relate to the useful bit.^^
RayRay, fairy princess is not all.^^ (My, short hair suits you.^^)
Anyway, I can't look 'natural' on my pictures - being the weirdo I am.
